How To Be Like Mona Lisa
by Julie Jordan Scott

"WHOA!" I thought as I quickly turned my steering wheel. I was avoiding the path path of a driver whose face and demeanor bore the expression of an intensely focused commanding officer of the Mt Vernon Avenue Brigade.

Less than half an hour later I was driving into the parking lot of my small neighborhood grocery store. Around the corner zoomed another driver with an impenetrable fortress attitude. It was as if "Gotta get there fast, hard, now and I am already three days late!" tattooed to the front headlights and burned into the engine.

I paused for a moment, wondering what is going on here? Mid morning in my less-than-bustle-filled home town I hardly expect to feel as if I am driving in a mine field!

As I stepped out of my car, it hit me.

"War looming" "California is bankrupt" "Teacher's will get lay off slips on March 15!" "Stock market plummeting" "High alert!" and so many other messages are bombarding people. In their cars, the messages are blasted right into the space as we drive from one destination to another. This morning the radio announcer was on such a barbaric tirade that I chose to turn him off.

He crossed the line this morning.

What I observed as I simply went about interacting with humanity this morning reminded me of how pervasive outside messages can be in infiltrating our own personal life experience. It is up to us to maintain a level of balance between being informed and not allowing the messages to cross the line into effecting our behavior.

Hearing these messages does not automatically mean we must start driving as if the world is coming to an end and if it doesn't, these drivers may unconsciously do significant damage anyway!

When thumbing through this month's "Tricycle" magazine I came across an extremely simple and very powerful practice which has the possibility of creating a significant shift for us when we feel ourselves on the border of crossing the line. After all, common wisdom tells us the best medicine is preventative.

The best way to keep from even getting close to the line is by continually staying aware and alert and on purpose whether or not you hear messages such as "War looming" "California is bankrupt" "Teacher's will get lay off slips on March 15!" "Stock market plummeting" "High alert!"

Writer Yvonne Rand suggests a simple practice of holding a half smile for three complete breaths several times throughout the day will bring an increased personal peace as well as cultivate a firm foundation for an ongoing experience of Beginner's Mind.

My personal interpretation spoke of this as "The How to Be Like Mona Lisa Practice". In other words, you simply choose to smile your own interpretation of the famous Leonardo Da Vinci portrait as you experience your day. This practice can make a trip to the Grocery Store into a blissful experience.

This practice can even make proof reading a blissful experience!

Passion Activator: For the next seven days, consciously don a smile like Mona Lisa's at specific times during your day. You may choose to anchor your practice through using waking, meals, and going to sleep as the appointed times to breathe three times and smile.

The next step is to consciously call upon the Mona Lisa smile in other instances during your day. You may, for example, choose to practice this whenever you hear a news report or whenever your least favorite song comes on the radio.

No matter how you choose to implement this practice, at least try it on for the next seven days. It will make a difference.

Activate Your Passion.

A tremendous number of people in America work very hard at something that bores them. Even a rich man thinks he has to go down to the office everyday. Not because he likes it but because he can't think of anything else to do.
